Kimberly is off to Minneapolis for the AANA national convention, so what is Chris to do? Hmmmm....Sawhorses, plywood, tote-o-supplies, 6 & 1/2 gallon carboy, propane, brewpot, cooler, burner, ingredients. All packed up and ready to go...with plenty of room for dogs too. The first collaboration of North Carolina and Virginia homebrewers named Gordon and Brannon is set to occur. The Jeep is packed. The excitement mounts. The brewing will be fierce.
Two different recipes are being lugged up in that brown cardboard box. James gets to choose which one we brew. Two totally different styles. Two totally different colors. Two totally different yeast strains. I would leak the info here, but James is one of the only 4 people or so who actually READ these posts so I cannot reveal them now.
Should be fun. Growlers will be drained. Cigars will be ablaze. A large slab of some sort of animal meat will be smoked during the session, followed by a feast fit for kings. What better reward after concocting our malty elixir? And to top it all off, it will only be in the low 80s so it will be actually comfortable outside...

Do you have to get a "smoking" room at the hotel to brew there? LOL!
Here at the Virginia destination, we are quite excited! But what a tease! Come on. A hint as to the malt differences.
